A bustling seafloor scene from the #taleof2canyons expedition: “We studied how these canyons can facilitate such incredible biodiversity,” said Chief Scientist Dr. Silvia Ines Romero. “What are the mechanisms — the currents and the chemistry — that support all of this life?”

Skating into the weekend . . . like a cartilaginous fish! Related to sharks w/wings for hovering & flying over the seafloor & a long, whiplike tail for steering. We see them during ROV dives, burrowed into the sediment, utterly still until they can ambush their next meal. 235m #Taleof2Canyons
A new species of siphonophore, recorded at 897 m during the #DesigningtheFuture3 expedition. ROV pilots were able to carefully zoom in on this animal’s nectophores, or swimming bells — these are the group of medusae responsible for propulsion. (Read more: www.instagram.com/reel/DYiP_eB...)

Celebrating ROV SuBastian's 900th scientific dive since completing sea trials in 2016. Seen in this milestone dive during #LivingBioreactors — a single-celled organism called Foraminifera, a “berried” crustacean (translation: shrimp carrying eggs), several dazzling jellyfish, & a string of salps.
For the #uruguaysub200 scientists hoping to document abundant wildlife in their deep waters, this small coral offers a message on a bottle, telling a larger story about life on the seafloor, 2,341 meters beneath the surface. 🎥 ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

Sea squirts & squid! ROV pilots filmed these salps and spectacular squid during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition with @oceancensus.bsky.social in early 2025. Salps, also known as sea squirts, are ubiquitous throughout the Ocean, and abundant in the Southern Ocean.

We brake for nautilus! “We usually stopped what we were doing whenever we saw nautilus, b/c they are such amazing animals to watch,” said #VisioningCoralSea Chief Scientist Dr. Robin Beaman of James Cook University. This enigmatic cephalopod navigated the depths before dinosaurs roamed the Earth!

Sie haben sich auch schon früher völlig grundlos bei Jamous entschuldigt. Schade, sehr schade, von Ihnen hätte ich mehr Souveränität erwartet. Stattdessen kuschen Sie vor dem Unions-Faschoflügel. Er hetzt seit Monaten ungehemmt und offen auf Schwarz-Braun hin, siehe X, NIUS, BILD und WeLD.

No president in modern history has used the office to enrich himself the way Donald Trump has. That's not a political opinion. It’s the conclusion of ethics watchdogs who have spent their careers watching this stuff.

Republicans sent ICE / Federal Agents, to kidnap and kill our neighbors. We respond with moral outrage. Democratic leaders sent State Troopers to "to protect the people" but instead join ICE, assaulting those who speak out. How is that helpful, getting hit by both sides. WTF 🤬
